If it turns out that Pence (hypothetically) was the one behind the NY Times Op Ed, can Trump fire him? Are there precedents of Presidents removing Vice Presidents from the position?

Jesus Fucking Christ.

The American people made a huge mistake. We deserve this dysfunction and utter incompetence.

We got what we voted for, and we're getting it hard and deep.

Man, working in the White House sounds like a hoot right now.

Watch the movie "The Thing" for a good look into what is happening there right now  :ph34r:

I think not, VPOTUS is an elected position, so he doesn't serve at the president's pleasure. Yanks will know best, though.

No, you cannot fire the VP. It is one of the reasons Presidents typically keep their VPs at arms length and why the situation with Cheney was so unique.

"Lodestar" is the term used to describe the most frequently employed method for awarding attorney's fees to class action plaintiffs counsel, so in my experience, it's a pretty commonly used term.  :)

So is there anyone in the administration who is an experienced class action plaintiffs counsel?

Doubt it but there are probably a couple of defendants in there, including Trump himself

Isn't that the modern way of diluting a news story?  Meme/mock the heck out of it until it goes away, soon no one takes it seriously, and eventually forget what the original story was.

Seems like parodies of that anonymous are pretty popular right now:

As an attempt to discredit the situation and spread lies and misinformation. I am so tired of that shit. Fuck the internet and its memes.

Hey Admiral Yi, you're in Iowa right? Are you seeing or hearing any impact from the trade war on the local economy and the local political climate?
